Miss Bea

Braggs. I know. I have that on hand at all times!

Apple Cider vinegar....hmmmm...is this connected to "an apple a day" therapy?

Could be, but a bit more tart then your average apple!

My girl thinks she is permanently attached to my chest...

Don't let that purring fool you. 

Cats be like 

Purr purr purr bite scratch squirm run off to do who knows what...

....would it bother your conscience to pretend to be sick.? .

Pretend?

If she remembers the Lytles, give her our best wishes for a quick recovery..

Lytles......why does that name sound familiar?

I forget you are out there, Jerry. Of course you remember her. And, her mind is just sharp. She will remember you, and, I will give her your greetings. She is stubborn as a mule, as I said, and refused to get a walker, fell in the night, and, I just can’t think about her taking an 

hour to get to the phone to call a brother to open her home so the ambulance staff could get in without breaking down doors! 

She’s in good spirits. That will do her so well at this time. 

Cause he’s our brother, on this site!

And we can help one another by using our power of prayer to help. Prayers for you my friend. 

I know. I love it when I’m alone with my thoughts, and up pops a Kingdom song. What I’m doing is listening to the ones I want to learn, over and over. My travel time to and from the hall is an hour and a half. So, now, I need to go through the song book and figure out the ones I do know, and go from there. Some of them are so beautiful I’ve already listened to them over and over and over. It dawned on me, I know these!

Last week, our electronics wereamiss, everyone waiting for the song to come up on the screen. After a silent pause, a brother began singing, a capella, and most of the congregation chimed right in to finish on key.

Made the hair on my arms rise up, but beautifully done!

We’ve had to do the a cappella, too. Pretty special. 

Pray for snow...

Oh my!  That's really awful - sign of the times  

Fascinating Bea .....up here we call that Heinz - 57 

What is surprising is I do have a tribal ID card with the Yurok Tribe. And guess what? We are Mexicans! Our DNA stock, anyway. I was flabbergasted. Sort of thought we came over the Bering straight. Nope, from the south. My husband, who sort of thinks the center of the Yurok world  is Kenick, (not far from where we live) did not say too much when he saw where his relations are really from! And the list of indigenous people from Mexico is pretty big.

Yes, we are all cousins! 

I did my mine and my husbands and found it so exciting and fun! Imagine in the paradise when we welcome back our ancestors and the surprises in store. I can't wait. I so want to meet them all, hug and cry and listen to their stories.

I am a true mutt. Mostly English, then Native American 

Trying to locate Easter Europe on Google Maps LOL

Keep looking, brother, keep looking....

We are not allowed to install cameras inside the house ... outside its ok

Privacy law applied stupidly 

Goodness. Here on the reservation, we don’t even need building permits. Which can get sort of interesting. I’m just glad my husband goes overboard to shore things up. Actually, he’s a perfectionist. And, I’m not. One of those!

A past CO, the third one back, taught our brothers Elder School and told them the same thing!  Mine is right here too!  

And, he shared how we need to be able to use the online study bible for next year. I’d heard rumors of its existence...it’s wonderful! And, he said if we don’t use it for our assignments, it will be very obvious!

My congregation has more than it's share of elderly ones and sometimes they don't hear their devices when they go off. Ya just got to roll your eyes, laugh inside, smile and keep on going. We love them anyway.

Don’t feel bad Bea we had the CO last week and his device started to play the video in the middle of the meeting ..... we’re all human. 

I know. And I kno it happens. What upset me was it was during the prayer! My device has shamed me as much as it can! Downhill from now on. 

It's supposed to rain today so I just raked and collected the leaves on the KH parking lot this morning. 11 fifty gallon bags of leaves. 

13 bags is a lot!

We have to rake those things. And keep up with them. Three big dogs! It’s a matter of the leaves and poop patrol. Raining. A sunny day, and my friend, the rake, shall sally forth. Again. 

Up to 18. Today. And, these aren’t fluffy loads. They are packed in as tight as I can get them! 

I have decided when that last leaf falls, I shall sit out on the deck and have me a glass of wine. Underneath the leafless trees! 

He’d been out of juvenile incarceration for two months. And, should have been moved on into the adult prison population. My son knows his step-father. He’s Native, (the step-Father)and a nice guy. Offered to pay for damage to his truck. Mental illness. At this point, there is no helping them, but to set them aside from the rest of us. It was totally random. Until he said he’d come back and “finish the job”.There were two incidents so far. The initial threat, the attack on the truck, and, the promise to come back. And what he threatened is not speakable. 

Satans system...

We live in a very scary world. 

Hopefully the police will be able to dissuade him enough  to prevent further incidents.

Ya Bea .............good for you. I too take Serrapeptase  and have added flax seed oil ..............nice when the professionals support your alternative efforts.  My GP pushes Statins but I am not interested.  Take Care Bea .

On going saga. I’m at the laughing stage. When they did a MRI on my neck, (getting funnier) they found a nodule on my thyroid. Lab tests indicate it’s not hot. But, alas, I need to head off to necular medicine to get the grimy details. 

A sister actually heard my neck make a noise Sunday. Not good. I feel fine, and I’m at the point where I know I can do okay without a thyroid gland.

My neck. I need it halfway healthy to hold up my head. We start with physical therapy, oh, and twelve visits to a chiropractor! What to do?

Well, auxiliary pioneer this month, and keep praying for the Kingdom!

When everything is considered what you've just wrote about your plans for the field ministry represent the best course of action. Given that there are things we won't be able to change in this world, we better just trust in Jehovah hoping for the best and longing for His promises. May Jehovah bless your plans dear Sis Bea.

Don't beat yourself, Bea. Jehovah appreciates that we do what we can. Maybe it's enough that you were there today to encourage others. Be sure to take a delicious dish next week and give several nutritious comments.

Thanks, Carlos. It was basic stuff. Jehovah helped me to be an encouragement. But, it is not a good feeling. I did read it, but time and circumstances got away from me! 

Hang in there Bea it happens to all of us at one time or another.... this is a new weak new leaf turned over.....

Give yourself time to learn it and get confident with it...and then later do loop dee loops and wheelies and race the dog etc...just kidding. Safety first. 

It’s like riding a horse ... hang on tight and find the whoa  button ;)

And, no clutch! Can’t figure that one out!

What I do know is it has to do with, “nor more offers, and the word is discussions”!

yes very interesting changes indeed!

We didn't have a letter read what did it say?

We are here. In a room with bars across the windows. Doors, locked. Coffee on, and a full moon outside. And, good company!

Did it! No more double shifts for us! It was 10-7. But, then, we had to drive 2 hours to get home. Our biggest danger was locking ourselves out of the security building. Double lock thing. And one of the locks did not pop out when it should have. I told Patricia we just need to used the dead bolt. Forget the little door handle thing! Wouldn't that have been something?

Well done.

Oh, sounds lovely! You enjoy Miss Bea! See you when you get back

I wish you were coming near me, I'd meet you for a coffee/tea, whatever   I'm in Edmonton, Alberta (well pretty close to it)

You're absolutely right Miss. Bea!! 

Thanks for the reminder Miss Bea!

Scary thought.  But an eye opener!  

Also sorry that these Awake quotes may have been uploaded only partially. They are: Awake 8/8/87 Hope for the dead,  consoloation for the grieving- and a reader's response in the 11/22/87 Awake to the original article. 

Thank you, sister. Your kind words mean a lot.❤️❤️❤️

The memorial talk was beautiful. It did not gloss over any thing, yet was warm and comforting. My worldly son was there, with his wife, and they were impressed. 

I think the immediate family was flat out medicated. And I understand. Just almost beyond sadness. 

Oh Bea, that's wonderful. If it's not causing him pain who cares, right? Love Polecat, he's such a big lug, sweetheart. Hope to have a kitty (if you can call a feline of that size a kitty) one day. They are such a special breed, gentle yet hunters.

I long for the day when these, "gentle hunters", hunt no more. I have nightmare stories. (Some funny) like us looking up from the dinner table, and at one of the cat food dishes, a mole, enjoying his meal, as we enjoyed ours! He was unceremoniously escorted out doors. (As gentle as possible, when part of the process is to trap the critter!)

I love your stories! Living, as you folks do, in country we sure have lots of stories. Lately I've been very entertained by my muskrat, he's having fun romping around the backyard, not overly scared. He probably weighs in at 20 pounds or a bit more, about the size of my dog Chester.

Aww thank you Miss Bea! Precious you are too dear.
